He said it multiple times, so it wasn't just a failure to see what the next word coming was. He was trying to make a point about paying attention during film sessions. And he made it over, and over, and over.

He was given the choice between resigning and getting fired.

Sad end to a long career in Norman. As a player and a coach, he's been involved in 350 OU games, 271 of them wins. More than anyone else in OU history in both categories. But there's zero tolerance at OU for what he did, and he was well aware of the rules.

Almost to a man, the former players he's coached--most of them Black--have supported him. But the issue was not, "Are you a racist?" It was, "Can you follow the rules?"

It's a bad thing to happen less than 4 weeks before the first game. But Venables is determined to replace Muleshoe's "whatever" culture with one of accountability. And the coaches have to be accountable too.

Interesting concept.  Not sure how practical it is, since most campsites are deep and not wide, but you could certainly use something like that for boondocking.

I love Airstreams and I miss mine all the time.  Someday I'll have one again.  Probably one of these:

I was looking at a Hampton Inn in Vancouver while visiting my daughter, $283 a night, for a Hampton Inn.

I'll end up using points, but still ...

Cost isn't really a driving factor for RV travel.  The main one, is being able to take the RV to places where hotels aren't.  Inside national parks and forests, state parks, etc.

Another consideration for some, particularly of the germophobic variety, is that you're never sleeping in someone else's bed or using someone else's space.  That became a big consideration for many, during the first year or so of COVID.

Yeah, I think being able to stay a week inside a prime NP would be an inducment, for me.  Some of them offer lodges of course.  Zion NP is one of my real favorites.  We went to Glacier too early in the year and it was overcast and the road was closed.  Gotta do that again.
